Laying Foundations for a Brighter Future: PD Ports Becomes Zoe’s Place Baby Hospice’s First-Ever Building Blocks Partner

At Zoe’s Place Baby Hospice, every act of support helps build a foundation of love, comfort, and care for families facing unimaginable challenges. That’s why we are proud to announce PD Ports as our first-ever Building Blocks Partner, marking the launch of a ground-breaking corporate partnership initiative that will help secure the future of our hospice and the families who depend on it.

PD Ports, one of the UK’s major port groups, which has a significant presence in Teesside, including Teesport and the Port of Hartlepool, has a proud track record of supporting its local community. Now, they’ve taken their commitment to the next level, becoming our inaugural Building Blocks Partner and setting the standard for meaningful corporate giving.

This partnership goes beyond traditional generosity. PD Ports is investing in the long-term sustainability of Zoe’s Place through consistent core funding, staff engagement and in-kind support, building the financial and operational stability we need to continue delivering palliative, respite, and end-of-life care for babies and children with complex and life-limiting conditions.   

The collaboration with PD Ports is the foundation of our new Corporate Partnerships initiative, designed to bring together values-led businesses that want to make a measurable, long-lasting impact on children and families across the region. Together, we’re not just raising funds, we’re raising the bar for corporate social responsibility. We’re building relationships rooted in purpose, sustained by compassion and driven by a shared belief that every child deserves dignity, joy and care.  

If your organisation is ready to become a Corporate Partner, we’d love to hear from you. Contact Ashleigh Ennion at ashleigh.wood@zoes-place.org.uk to begin building something truly meaningful.
